Is there a way to configure your cluster to use REST over ZAPI through the GUI ?

#

I don't see any option in UI. Only way is to modify Harvest configuration.
@mellow wigeon can add more details on this.

There is an option in harvest ?

#

Yes, Its precedence order of Collector in harvest.yaml.

#

Oh ok. NAbox does Zapi ZapiPerf Rest

#

Should I change that to Rest Zapi ZapiPerf ?

sage nexus Jan 4, 2024, 7:47 AM

#

No, That will be problematic for Customers who are using ONTAP versions prior to 9.12

Ok. @gregwilson you can probably modify harvest.yml manually but not sure there is a big advantage.

@royal grotto Can you let us know your use-case? I am guessing it has to do with Zapi EOA.

#

@royal grotto You can also go through guide here https://netapp.github.io/harvest/23.11/architecture/rest-strategy/#rest-strategy

@sage nexus I just setup NAbox for the first time since Harvest 2.0 and clicking around a few of the Grafana graphs it says for these graphs you need to set REST

#

#

also there are a few dashboards which say you need to edit YAML files. I dont really see an easy way to do this using NAbox..

#

im not sure if im over thinking it

#

eg

@royal grotto The Rest Collector is already enabled in NABox, so no changes are required from the Collector's side. If you don't see any data on such dashboards, please check if the cluster user has Rest read permissions.

Yes, some dashboards do require the activation of templates, which are disabled by default. For NABox, you can find the guide to customize Harvest 2 here: https://nabox.org/faq/#customize-harvest-2.

If you encounter any issues while enabling templates, please let us know.
